Guide To Briarcliff School Board And Budget Vote

BRIARCLIFF MANOR, NY — The school board and budget vote is coming up May 17, when Briarcliff school district voters will weigh in on a $56.28 million spending plan and two seats on the Board of Education.

There are two seats open on the school board as Kenneth Torosian's and Michelle Woerner's terms expire in June. They are running for re-election as a team. Joanna Stein Weiner withdrew from the race.

The $56,280,408 spending plan is 4.82 percent higher than the current budget. It will result in an estimated tax levy increase of 2.75 percent, which is under the state tax cap.

Among the budget highlights:

• $650,000 to replace all of the necessary components for unit ventilators that condition and exchange the air in every classroom.
• The High School and Middle School general instructional classrooms will have all furniture replaced with up-to-date, modern furnishing for students and staff due to a one-time influx of funds.

Voting will take place between 6 a.m. and 9 p.m. at Todd Elementary School, 45 Ingham Road.
